Explore Yellowstone on a private snowcoach outing with a knowledgeable guide trained to spot wildlife. Look beyond the thermal features for signs of the animals that inhabit this winter landscape.
The Yellowstone Snowcoach Tour provides a unique perspective on Yellowstone’s geothermal features in a dramatic winter landscape. Our experienced guides bring you to the unique thermal features of Old Faithful, Upper Geyser Basin and West Thumb Geyser Basin. Travel from Jackson, WY to Flagg Ranch (just south of Yellowstone) in wheeled vehicles. Then our custom designed Mercedes-Benz Snowcoach takes you over snow-packed roads through Yellowstone National Park. We provide breakfast and lunch along with the use of high-quality optics, Yaktrax traction devices, and walking poles.
Wildlife tours run rain or shine. No refund if you cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled start. Otherwise, 10% of the tour price is nonrefundable. Rebooking at your request incurs an additional 5% administration fee.

Dress for below-freezing winter temperatures, as you would for skiing on a very cold day. Wear warm layers, long pants, a warm jacket, a knit hat, and comfortable hiking shoes with thick socks. Bring a day pack, rain jacket, fleece or lightweight puffy layer, and sunscreen.

The guides here are the real draw. From astrophysicists like Ben, Mani, and Eons to enthusiastic educators like Sara, Lily, and Andy, the team consistently earns praise for making complex astronomy accessible and genuinely engaging. Reviewers highlight how guides field every question thoughtfully, adapt explanations for all ages, and keep the group comfortable through cold Wyoming nights with blankets, hand warmers, and warm-up breaks. Logistics are smooth and guest-focused. The company proactively reaches out when weather looks unfavorable, offering rebooking at no extra cost, and handles pickup, drop-off, and equipment without fuss. There's also a free weekly public session at Rendezvous Park for those who want a taste before committing to a private tour. Families, couples, and photography enthusiasts all seem to leave equally satisfied, which says a lot about the range of what's offered.
